How to Send Money to Robeson County Jail (NC)

There's an ATM in the Robeson County Jail lobby where you can deposit money directly to an inmate's account. It accepts both cash and credit cards, though fees apply. Check the on-screen prompts or any posted fee information before you finalize so you know exactly what you'll pay.

Can't make it to the lobby? The jail also lists an online option through McDaniel Supply's website. This is usually the easiest route if you're sending funds from out of town or just need to handle everything from home.

Money order restriction: Robeson County Jail only accepts money orders sent from 50 miles or more away.

How to Send Money to Robeson County Jail (NC)
  1. Go to the jail lobby and find the deposit ATM. This is the on-site option the jail lists for adding funds to an inmate account.
  2. Choose your payment type (cash or credit card). The jail notes that transactions can be done with cash or a credit card.
  3. Review the total before you submit. Fees apply, so confirm the final amount shown on the machine.
  4. Keep your receipt or confirmation. If there is any issue posting the funds, that proof of payment is what you will want to reference.
  1. Use McDaniel Supply’s online deposit site. Robeson County Jail lists this as the online way to deposit funds.
  2. Follow the site’s prompts to locate the inmate and submit the deposit. Enter the requested details carefully so the money posts to the correct account.
  3. Save your confirmation. Take a screenshot or write down the confirmation number after you pay.
  • Confirm the money order is being sent from 50 miles or more away, since the jail states that is required for money orders to be received.
  • Verify the exact mailing instructions with the jail before you send it (payee format, required inmate identifiers, and where it must be mailed).
  • Keep your money order receipt and any tracking information until you are sure it was received and credited.

What to Verify

  • The current ATM fee amount (the jail states fees apply, but does not list the dollar amount).
  • Whether the ATM accepts your specific card type and what cash denominations it takes.
  • When the lobby ATM is accessible (the jail does not list hours for deposits).
  • That you are using McDaniel Supply’s correct, current website for Robeson County Jail deposits.
  • What payment methods the site accepts and what fees are charged.
  • How long deposits typically take to post to the inmate’s account, especially if you are trying to cover something time-sensitive.

Double-check before mailing: Confirm the 50-mile rule for money orders, and ask for the exact mailing address and required inmate/account details. Getting these right upfront prevents your money order from being rejected or delayed.

A few practical details aren't covered in the jail's public information, so you'll want to confirm them directly: lobby hours and ATM access times, exact ATM fee amounts, the step-by-step online deposit process (including how long it takes to post), and the correct mailing address and formatting rules for money orders. If you're sending a larger amount or need funds posted quickly, verify these details before you pay or mail anything.
